[Nexus-developers] complex numbers

[Pete R. Jemian]

Suppose I want to store an array of complex numbers
such as atomic scattering factors or scatter lengths.
How do I do that in NeXus?

The manual provides no answers.

HDF5 provides no complex data type but makes a suggestion to store this 
as a two-dimensional dataset with [real, imaginary] parts.
